All praise to God the Father who brought his chosen people to rebirth from imperishable seed through his eternal Word. Let us ask him as his children:
Lord, be gracious to your people.
God of mercy, hear the prayers we offer for all your people,
— may they hunger for your word more than for bodily food.
Lord, be gracious to your people.
Give us a sincere and active love for our own nation and for all mankind,
— may we work always to build a world of peace and goodness.
Lord, be gracious to your people.
Look with love on all to be reborn in baptism,
— that they may be living stones in your temple of the Spirit.
Lord, be gracious to your people.
You moved Nineveh to repentance by the preaching of Jonah,
— in your mercy touch the hearts of sinners by the preaching of your word.
Lord, be gracious to your people.
May the dying go in hope to meet Christ their judge,
— may they rejoice for ever in the vision of your glory.
Lord, be gracious to your people.

Act of Spiritual Communion
If you are unable to physically receive Holy Communion, especially in the midst of the pandemic, make a solemn recitation of this Prayer for Spiritual Communion by Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori.
In celebration of the 5th Anniversary of The Best Catholic, I decided to discuss this particular topic, which I have not written about before—my Catholic perspective on singleness and finding a spouse. My Reflection offers a list of my advice to Catholic women on what to do while waiting for a spouse, and pointers to consider in defining what a “good man” is. Whether you are a single woman looking for a husband, or you know someone who is, I assure you that you will learn so much from this one of a kind Honest Guide that I wrote in the light of the Catholic Faith.
Our aim is to help Catholics strengthen their spiritual life, deepen their understanding of the faith, and intensify their holiness by catechesis and a variety of Catholic information.
TheBestCatholic.com aspires to be an instrument of evangelization.We are all pilgrims of the earth, striving towards salvation.It is our fervent prayer that by God’s grace, we will be “The Best Catholic” we can ever become.
